More People Eligible for COVID-19 Vaccine

St. Clair County , MI — On March 1st, food processing and agricultural workers became eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, and on March 8th, individuals 50 and older with medical conditions or disabilities and family members and caregivers of children with special health care needs also became eligible.

Getting the vaccine is still subject to the supply available to our county, but individuals in the newly added eligibility groups should begin registering for the vaccine if they haven’t already.

Those interested in the COVID-19 vaccine can register at multiple locations such as the Health Department, Meijer, Rite Aide, and Walgreens,  in order to secure the first vaccine that becomes available. A link to all vaccine providers in St. Clair County is available <HERE>.

If a person registers with multiple locations and then secures a vaccine appointment, they can simply decline appointments offered by the other providers, delete their profiles with those providers, or contact the providers directly to be removed from the system.
